The main family line became extinguished in the 19th century, while its Austrian branch exists to this day. The Austrian branch was started by Grigory Razumovsky who was forced to relocate to Austrian Empire in 1816.

The family traces its origin to a khutir Lemeshi (today a village in Kozelets Raion).

His brother Grigoriy Yakovlevich Rozum had two children — Kirill and Alexey. After Alexey became a favorite of Russian Empress Elizabeth of Russia, the family name was changed to Razumovsky for all Rozums. Notable representatives of the family include:

Gorenki Palace, Balashikha.
